Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 374 Is it okay to try it out?
Most of the ancient ways of educating children were to beat them up, and sometimes there was no reason to beat a child.

In this era, there is no such thing as human rights, and there is no so-called equality.The monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son, to put it bluntly, are the relationship between ownership and ownership.

However, when Xu Jingzong said that he wanted to beat Xu Yanbo, he didn't really intend to beat Xu Yanbo. Li Qinzai sensed sensitively that it was just that Xu Jingzong didn't want to talk to him directly about the road construction and just changed the subject.

To change the subject by beating a child, Xu Jingzong is indeed thick-faced and dark-hearted, and he is really willing to let go.

Li Qinzai didn't mind him changing the subject, since Li Zhi had sealed him an official position, Xu Jingzong would never be able to change this topic, and he would have to face it sooner or later.

So Li Qinzai looked at Xu's grandfather and grandson with a smile, with an expression of watching a play.

Xu Jingzong called out to fetch the family law, but it had been a long time since his servants brought the family law. Xu Yanbo looked at Xu Jingzong with a sad and indignant expression, and Xu Jingzong coughed twice with an embarrassing expression.

It's really hard to ride a tiger right now, is it possible that you really want to beat your grandson?
It's not a big deal to get whipped, anyway, it's time for him to get whipped since he hasn't practiced homework for a long time, but Xu Jingzong feels a little weird about Li Qinzai's expression of watching a play.

It seems that the grandfather beating the grandson is an entertainment performance for the guests, which is a bit unreasonable. How can the prime minister be so immodest.

After a long time, Xu Jingzong suddenly said again: "Ah, the grand nephew came to the door, did my family's ineffective grandson treat him well?"

Xu Yanbo seemed to see that his grandfather was looking for a reason to beat him up, and he would never let his grandfather find a reason, so he hurriedly said: "I'm entertained, I'm entertained, there is no shortage of good wine and beautiful women."

Xu Jingzong rolled his eyes at him, but Li Qinzai was still smiling.

Xu Jingzong had no choice but to say: "My nephew and grandson, please come to the hall, and the old man will discuss with you."

Li Qinzai smiled even more happily, bowed and stretched out his hand to give way: "Xu Xiang first please."

Xu Yanbo desperately wanted to follow, but was kicked away by Xu Jingzong: "Climb!"

Li Qinzai stared dumbfounded at Xu Xiandi flying away like a kite with a broken string.

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly at Li Qinzai: "Hehe, I just laughed, the Xu family is the worst, and they have to clean up as they should."

In Xujiatang, Li Qinzai once again talked about the pros and cons of road construction. After chatting with Li Ji, Li Qinzai's thoughts became clearer, and he was not timid when chatting with the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he talked about everything.

Xu Jingzong had to listen to Li Qinzai's words, then shook his head and sighed: "Boy of the Li family, it is really embarrassing for you to build roads and ship ships to your majesty. If you shake the foundation of the country and If it causes turmoil in the world, this old man will become a sinner through the ages."

Li Qinzai smiled humbly: "The younger generation knows that Xu Xiang is in a dilemma, but even though things are difficult, they should be done for the benefit of the country. Xu quite knows that if the roads of the states and counties in the world are connected, no matter for the merchants, the common people, or the Tang Dynasty, All very important."

Xu Jingzong sighed: "The old man understands the truth, and the old man also knows that His Majesty was dissatisfied by the courtiers' resistance. It stands to reason that the old man should stand with His Majesty, but... it is still the same problem, which consumes too much and involves too much. "

"Aside from other things, the idea of ​​using work for relief is good, but such a huge fortification will also consume a lot of money and food. Who will pay for this money and food? The treasury can't afford it."

"There is a severe drought in the north this year, and the annual income of the Tang Dynasty is half that of previous years. If road construction is started at this time, the money and food will be consumed even more. If the officials below are not careful, it will cause a civil uprising, which will break the sky. big deal."

A day ago, Li Qinzai might have been a little embarrassed about these practical issues, but since he had a chat with his grandfather Li Ji, Li Qinzai has become somewhat sure.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qinzai said slowly: "Xu Xiang's words are reasonable, but this junior has a new idea..."

Xu Jingzong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

"The beginning of the new policy must be like walking on thin ice. Whether it is labor-relief or road construction, it must be prudent and slow to be the safest way. What the younger generation means is, can you find a place to try it out?"

"Find a state or a county to temporarily implement the New Deal. If it is feasible, it can be gradually implemented next year or the next year. If it is not possible, it will be decisively stopped next year. The gains and losses of a place will not affect the foundation of the country. What does Xiang Xiang think?"

Xu Jingzong had never heard of the method of "piloting", he was startled when he heard this, and he stroked his beard and thought.

"Your brain is really..." Xu Jingzong didn't know what to say, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Li Qinzai went on to say: "There is a severe drought in the north, and the imperial court must help the people. Even if I don't implement the work-for-relief proposed by me, the food that should be relieved will still be given. But if the road construction affects the interests of others, we might as well take it Keep the movement small, and choose a prefecture and county to try it out.”

"The state treasury has prepared grain, and construction can start after the autumn harvest. The local people have worked hard to build roads, and the government has paid for grain. The roads have been repaired, and farmers who have failed to harvest grain have been fed. A state or a county will not be touched. Does Xu Xiang think it is feasible to benefit from too many powerful families?"

"When all the roads in this prefecture and county are repaired, not only do not cause losses to the local area, but also feed refugees, facilitate transportation, facilitate passage, and benefit both the government and the people, then invite officials from nearby cities to come Visit, I believe that officials in various places will be tempted, and the New Deal will be implemented smoothly."

Xu Jingzong was a little surprised at the "pilot" method proposed by Li Qinzai. Thinking about it from the standpoint of the prime minister, perhaps this is the safest method with the least noise and the least impact.

Find a place to try it out, if it doesn't work, the boat is easy to turn around, what if it succeeds?

Successful public opinion has been created, there is a ready-made model there, the government and the public have seen it, and then it is discussed in the court, and the implementation of the New Deal will have the confidence.

As for the interests of the dignitaries and the aristocratic families, as long as the pilot places are successful, it will be easier for the imperial court to stand on the commanding heights of public opinion and morality, and those whose interests are touched will be the first to lose. The aristocratic family has instead become a vulnerable group, so what are you afraid of?

Xu Jingzong's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He was not happy for the benefit of the country and the people, but mainly because, with the experimental method proposed by Li Qinzai, he was able to stand firmly with the emperor again.

The heavens can learn from me, the old man has always been a loyal minister.

Of course, with Xu Jingzong's cunning and cunning, although he agreed with Li Qinzai's proposal in his heart, he would never express his opinion easily.

"The boy from the Li family is extremely intelligent. If that unprofessional beast in my family is half as intelligent as you, the Xu family's family business will not be prosperous. It's a pity..." Xu Jingzong suddenly showed an angry and indisputable sadness on his face.

Li Qinzai looked at him in astonishment, we were clearly talking about serious business, why did the conversation change to your evil beast?
After all, he was one of the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace, so he often digresses when he writes?

　I recommend an old friend a new book "Da Ming: I, Train the Carpenter Emperor", the author Feng Shaoyu is also a veteran author of Qidian, the quality is guaranteed, you can read it.
